Beormasname, np: Biarmians, a people of what is
now part of northwest Russia, about whom we know very little for sure and
for whose existence and location at this time the Ohthere story is one of
our main sources. They and their land, Bjarmaland, are also mentioned in
Norse sagas, as lying near the river Dvina, which does not fit well with
the Ohthere account of sailing directions. Possibly they were Karelians,
whose language, like that of the Sámi people, is Finno-Ugric and related to
Finnish.
